Antique Silver Plated OYSTER or COCKTAIL FORK - Marked "NEW YORK CENTRAL"
Size: 6"L x 5/8"W
Stamped NEW YORK CENTRAL (Railroad) with Maker mark: HOLMES and EDWARDS
Among the many collectibles in our parents family 'trunk', found this lovely fork.
This indicates it was custom-made for the New York Central Railroad company's dining service.
Manufactured by HOLMES and EDWARDS, a company known for inlaid silver plate. hotels and railroads.
Sweet piece with a bit of history. I love the small 'blob' of silver on one of the tines! Imperfection making it even more indicative of mfgrg processes at that time.
Thanks for looking!
